Justice of the Peace Weddings/Civil Weddings

Ah, New Mexico! Such a wonderful and enchanting state, when it pertains to weddings we are a little different. In many locations you go to the county court house get your license, ask to see a Judge or Justice of the Peace and Voila you are married! But, not here.

While Judges and other officials can marry you, they don't. Well let me remedy that, they do not truly want to. In a lot of counties in New Mexico the Judges are hectic, so scheduling time to do wedding events is not a genuine priority. What will take place is the clerks will provide to put you on a waiting list, generally 6 to 8 weeks. At that time, if a Judge is available you can have an in chambers wedding. Notice the if available? Almost anything can cause a hold-up, we had one couple who waited the 8 weeks, just to be informed the Judge was away on business and could they return in a week?

If you are from out of town you can not really wait around, and if you are from town do you truly desire to wait? For civil type of events we provide three options.
